Abstract
Syringe infusion pumps are devices that deliver a small amount of fluid to a patient over long periods. There are different ways of infusing a liquid and the parameters to define the infusion rate are determined by the operator. However, the delay in the continuous release of a fluid at low infusion rates (1 mL/h) is a clinical problem, because it can cause a lack of a certain drug, interfering with the treatment of diseases and the patient's physiological stability. In addition, the precipitation of drug release can cause overdose. Therefore, the objective of this study is to design and develop a syringe infusion pump that achieves low infusion rates precisely, with a computerized control system.
